Spoil your friends, family, loved one or simply yourself this Easter – and while there’s an endless selection of chocolate-based goodies to feast on, there’s another type of treat that has caught our attention.
Much in the same way that advent calendars have evolved over the years to feature everything from socks to sex toys, the same is happening to the classic seasonal offering.
Beauty variations are taking over filled with skin, hair or cosmetics treats in the name of Easter. While we will still be tucking into the creamy, decadent luxury or vegan options, these don’t have a cocoa bean in sight. Housing the products in intricately decorated casings, they can often be refilled year after year.
From L’Occitane, Glossybox and more, see the alternative Easter eggs with hidden surprises below.

Whether you choose to stuff with homemade keepsakes, experience vouchers, jewellery, toys or chocolate, it is up to you to craft a seasonal surprise that can live on past the long weekend.
